"Lesson number four," Aries croons wickedly into Ashley's ear, with a
touch of amusement in his voice, "I'm not your enemy. That is, unless
you ~want~ me to be."

With a deep, hearty laugh, Aries releases Ashley.

"Besides, I did not 'cheat.' I merely used my blood Disciplines to
defend myself and bring you back into line. That is your next
lesson. 'Know yourself and your own abilities.' Learn what Disciplines
naturally run in your blood and how to use them. Oh, and they do have
names. What I used on you just now were Celerity, Potence, and
Presence, all of which are natural to the blood of Clan Brujah. But
like with any talent or skill, they must be learned...and developed
through use and practice. Some Disciplines also require the expenditure
of blood, so if you have not fed in awhile or have lost blood, you may
not be able to use those disciplines, even when badly needed. Oh,
yeah, 'Celerity' is the Kindred name for the speed I just
used. 'Potence' is what we call the strength I just called on. Of
course, I did not use my full Potence. No need to hurt you." He
laughs. "'Presence,' of course, is the Discipline I just used to Awe
you into seeing things my way, even to manipulate you into doing what I
want you to do. Of course, Mortals would call it 'Charming' someone."
Aries then smirks at her, crossing his arms over his broad chest.
